The idea of corn bread has always fascinated me though the one time that I tried to make it, it did not turn out too well. It was a bit dry and the flavour was not too impressive. When I came across this recipe I knew that I would have to try making corn bread again. The recipe includes some sugar and honey for sweetness and corn kernels for both texture and enhanced corn flavour. If that wasn't enough some bacon is thrown on top for good measure. I made the corn bread on the weekend to go with the turkey white chili . The cornbread turned out really well. It was moist and flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness. The slightly sweet cornbread went really well with the heat of the chili. I will definitely be making this again many times in the future!
